Does anyone know if you buy the "Dark Knight Trilogy" from iTunes, do you get them in 4k? The films are like $20 individually, so $35 for the trilogy would be a good deal - but I can't tell for sure if I get 4k or not.

In the iTunes Store if you click on each of the included movies each on says 4K Dolby Vision. Look for yourself but that?s what I?m seeing.

Clicking on the individual movies DOES look like they are 4k Dolby Vision just like you say, but the trilogy 'wrapper' says HD... I was curious if anyone had actually bought it and could confirm. I'm not trying to cross my fingers and spend $35 lol

Yes, I bought "The Dark Knight" trilogy in HD on iTunes and got the 4k HDR versions but you can only watch them in 4k on the Apple TV 4k. Since you're buying the HD versions, they don't port over to Vudu in UHD for instance.

Also iTunes gives free upgrades to titles bought in HD to the highest quality they have. It’s a pretty awesome deal and if you can find the redeem codes for sale online it’s even cheaper than $35.

Not my experience Andrew. Both Infuse and MrMC choke on several UHD rips (Transformers 1-4 in the 63 - 67 Mb/s range) all buffer/choke badly at various points on a Gigabit wired connection.

Plex, Kodi and SPMC all play the files on the same network from a Shield - flawlessly (wired from the same switch).

I will admit I'm no network expert, so if anyone wants to chip in with troubleshooting advice - feel free. I have tried swapping the cables from the Shield to the Apple - without success.

Do you have timestamps where Infuse chokes? I just watched a little bit of a Transformers rip the other day and it was flawless. I haven’t run into a rip it wouldn’t play yet (outside of ones that were corrupt).

I don't know if you can download an app which will allow you to measure your wired network speed on the two devices - something like TT Client and Server would work, just don't know whether they are in the TV Appstore and Playstore. At least that would eliminate bandwidth issues. Are you getting the same result if you run Speedtest on both? Won't measure your internal network though

Speedtest by Ookla has both a Shield and ATV version. ATV is free on the AppStore. The Shield version can be found and sideloaded from apkmirror.com. It’s pretty accurate and let’s you select the same servers so there will be no latency differences.

That will measure WAN speed but it sounds like they are talking about playing files on the local network so would want to measure that throughput. Not many have 1Gbps internet connections to max out a 1Gbps NIC.

and this is why we keep saying it when the naysayers keep saying "but my cables are fine for all my other stuff!"

Where would I report a bug I found in current beta software? If you tap the touchpad, a progress bar shows up on the bottom. In previous release the counter on the right bottom side would show you the time remaining. Currently it shows you the total time of the movie. Pretty sure it's a bug, because if you tap the touchpad again, the number used to show you what time the movie would end, so if it was 8PM and there was 1 hour left in the movie it would show 9PM. Currently the second tap will show you the time the movie is supposed to end, but it's calculated using the total length of the movie, so if it's 8PM and there is 1 hour left in a 2 hour movie, it will show you 10PM instead of 9PM. Seeing it on Netflix on Apple 4K TV latest beta (needed it to get Dolby Vision working on my A1E).

I've seen the same bug. Used to work fine before the 11.3 beta, now it's broken.

Bugs in beta software are reported with Feedback Assistant. Since I see a likely bug I'll report it.

However this bug isn't quite as described.

In 11.3b3 the count-down display is not decrementing by seconds (maybe 2.5s) so you have to:
1) tap and wait for the progress bar to be removed and then tap again, which will decrement remaining time by some amount, or
2) touch the trackpad. As long as you're touching the trackpad the progress bar will stay up and the counter will decrement (but not by seconds).

I did an update today and now a few movies are missing from the 4K HDR section. Has this happened to anyone? The ones missing are: Dark Knight Rises, Live Die Repeat, Harry Potter 1,2,5,7. So my total was 154 titles in 4K HDR before updating, then after updating, it says 148 titles. I do own those 6 titles in Vudu in UHD, so it is weird that they just show as only HD now? any ideas?

Could be the termination of your internal wiring. You should pull your wall plate and check the head end wiring too. Gigabit means nothing unless it’s actually installed correctly. I’ve seen some termination issues that were nightmarish to clients that connected to offsite servers with several disconnects per day. Reterminated both ends 0 problems since then. It can also be cheap parts that are failing. You can’t go wrong with Leviton for the CAT5/6 ends. I’ve probably replaced almost every other brand at one point or another. Skimping on wire, patch panels or CAT 5/6 connectors just isn’t worth the couple of $ you “save”.

You could run speed test all day long on a poorly terminated network and get great results, but every once in a while you can have a blip in connectivity for a moment and in your case video problems might come up. Hard to diagnose via Speedtest a since it works 99.9% of the time.

Yes it's happening to a LOT of people. It's all over the Google+ chat rooms. About 10% of my library, all DV or HDR 4K, was "downgraded". Some show up wrong in the description others don't play DV or HDR when they are supposed to and a couple are now described as DV and SD but are just SD not even 4K anymore. I'm hoping it's just a glitch but since all these other users that are reporting it are not in the beta it sounds more like an Apple database/infrastructure issue and not on the device.

Try programing your remote to switch away from any device that uses HDCP, if possible, before you shut down everything. This helped me at some point in the past so I've just made it a best practice.

@leonmckee
suggestion is helping. I have for the past 2 days been able to turn on my TV and the ATV was fine. I was also able to turn on the TV multiples times per day and it was fine. I did have the one instance yesterday where it wasn't......but I'm thinking this switching to a different input has helped a bit. Still think it's something ultimately Apple needs to solve, as more and more people on the Apple forum threads I follow report they have similar issues. Thanks again for the suggestion.
